Concerts
The band will consider any type of "sit down" concert, be this at an indoor venue, park, garden, church, marquee etc. Prices are dependant on the music required and length of time of the concert itself. The hirer may request items, which the band will endeavour to deliver, though it has to be noted that there is a yearly programme rehearsed for the purposes of concerts.
Your concert requirements are discussed in full and the band has a good reputation in the North East region for delivering a concert that has something for everyone.

Weddings
Weddings are our speciality. The Bride and Groom can choose their music from our extensive music library. Music can be tailor-made for the ceremony itself, background music whilst the guests have drinks and photographs are taken, or as part of the evening celebrations - linking nicely into your DJ event and catering for everyone's taste in music genres.
Every aspect of the requirements are discussed at length to give a memorable day. Prices are dependant on the requirements, length of time at the function and any additional issues (eg: special arrangements of music).

Funerals
The band have performed at many funerals over the years, providing music for the service itself, eg: Entrance of the cortége, hymns and mourners leaving the church/crematorium. There have also been requests to play favourite music when the hearse and cars enter crematorium grounds and within the actual funeral service itself.
All requests are carefully considered, the size of the band can be dependant on requirements (i.e: doesn't have to be a full brass band) and there is full liaison with the funeral director, church and/or crematorium. Prices are dependant on requirements.
